ANTI-TREATING SOCIETY.

A society recently formed in st. Paul,
which has for its underlying principle
the absolute promise of every member
to refrain from treating any person to
Intoxicating liquors, and to refuse to be
treated, goes about the solution of the
temperance problem in a way that gives
better promise of success than any other
method of which we know.
The habit of treating, which is almost
entirely an American Institution, is un-
doubtedly at the bottom of great deal
of the intemperance in this country,
both the kind that is only occasional
and that which is habitual. Should one
man meet another in a grocer'S shop or
in butchers shop he would feel under
no obligation to buy his friend pound
of coffee or brace of chops, but in
effect, that is precisely what he does if
he meets him in place where liquor is
sold.
In most instances the man who is
treated does not care for another drink,
but is constrained to accept it through
fear of sighting the courtesy of his
aiend, and in many cases the man who,
going after glass of beer or wine,
Snds himself unexpectedly called upon
10 ''stand treat" for half dozen others,
is quite unable to afford the additional
outlay. Through a natural desire,
however, to ''hold up his end," he not
only eXpends five or six times the
amount he intended, but drinks a good
deal more than he wants and good
deal more than is good for him. Thus
it frequently happens that man finds
himself intoxicated when he had no
intention whatever of becoming under
the influence of liquor, and from these
occasional ''sprees,' resulting from the
treating habit, arise many cases of
habitual drunkenness.
The general extension of the anti
treating idea, however, would do away
with the twin evils of overdrinking and
excessive spending, and the spreading
of the influence of the society recently
organized in st. Paul would not fail to
meet with favor and to do much for the
cause of temperance, which, by the
way, is quite distinct from total absti-
nence,

this condition of affairs. The New
Workers are pretty hard headed people,
and they cannot see the utility of lock-
ing up half million of dollars, contain
ing unlimited possibilities of good, in
meaningless pile of marble and bronze
where this huge sum will do good to no
one.
The fame of Gen. GRANT requires no
such perpetuation. 1t will live forever
in the hearts of his countrymen If never
a stone should be raised to his memory.
He himself would, if he could, be the
first toprotest against such ostentatious
and useless display. 1t is we'll enough
to seek to rear some memorial to the
man to whom the country owes so much,
but let it be done in practical way, a
way which will cause suffering human
ity to bless his name until the end of
time.
Let the managers of the GRANT fund,
which now amounts to over 100000,
endow for the exclusive use of the poor
a number of free beds in one of New
York's great hospitals, or let the n
establish several additional dispensarieS
in the city where the poor may receive
medical advice and necessary drugs free
of cost. Then memento indeed worthy
of the man whose memory every patri
otic citizen reveres, would be secured
and the metropolis would be relieved of
the imputation under which it now rests

Hon. w. r. Morrison.

Hon. William r. Morrison, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission-The
reason why like to get out West is
that L can wear my slouch hat with
impunity, for while at Washington L
have to assume a beaver, which is
most uncomfortable piece of headgear
so far as am concerned. While have
frequently crossed the continent, have
not visited st. Paul before, and
had no idea what an extensive
place it was. We have met a
number of charming people, and
shall take away with us the pleasantest
recollections of the hospitality and
courtesies extended to us. By the way,
while i'll st. Louis recently, l was struck
by the progress that had al
ready been made for decorations in
honor of the visit of the
President and Mrs. CLEVELAND. Pic
lures of both were conspicuous on
private houses, even out in the suburbs,
where we drove frequently, and the in
dications are that the demonstration in
honor of the distinguished guests will
exceed anything ever attempted before
in the Western country.

Another Looked For,

FalrmOnt News.
What threatens to be the most NAL
odorous expose ever in Minnesota is
now going ON in regard to j. A. Reed
in the conduct of the Minnesota state
in regard to his management for several
months before he vacated the Office, but
were ridiculed by his friends as too pre-
posterous for belief. Dishonesty in the
management of the funds and immor-
ality in regard to personal conduct both
were charged, and at the present writ
ing seem to have had foundation in fact.
There is another one of our state insti-
tutions, if no more, that the News has
reason to believe will, before many
years, have an investigation with as
damaging results to the parties inter-
eSted as this to Warden Reed.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

The battle of Hamline deserves to live in
history. 1t was magnificent mimicry of
war. All the realities of the battle field were
there except death. The skillful maneuver-
ing for position, the scattering shots from
the pickets as the approach of the attacking
column was observed, the hurrying forward
of the skirmish line, the deep baying of the
hery-mouthed cannon, the advance of the
serried phalanX, the alternating success of
the skirmishers, and then the shock of battle
as veterans close in deadly combat-oh. how
real it all was, and how the hearts of old vet
Grams stirred within them as the mimic war
brought back the recollections of twenty odd
years ago.
There were men there who had witnessed
just such scenes, only on grander and more
terrific scale, at Chickamauga and around
Richmond, at Atlanta and at Gettysburg.
Again they saw the Businesses of the Kene-
saw mountains peopled with armed legions
they saw the swamps of the Chickahominy
once more filled with the dead and the dying !;
they heard the shout of victory as it rang
from Round Top and Cemetery Ridge that
notable July day, twenty-four years ago,
when our national integrity was rebaptized
in blood; they heard afresh the tramp of
SHERMANs army on its onward march to the
sea; these memories, with thousands of their
fellows, all came trooping up in the minds of
veterans as they looked upon that magnii-
cent mimic war yesterday. They were living
over the past again.
*xx
But the lesson of Hamline field lies in an
other direction. When the battle was done
and the smoke had lifted from the field the
men who had lately been opposed to each
other in the mock encounter were seen COM
ing from the war in fraternal embrace. They
were brothers again. Victor and yanouished
walked shoulder to shoulder, kept step to the
same music and marched under the same
flag. 1t was blessed symbol of that spirit
of fraternity which is uniting the once dis
cordant sections of our country into an in
dissoluble union. Esto perpetua.
The partisan is flexible creature. He can
be adjusted on moments notice to suit his
surroundings. Editor SHAW, of the Mime.
apolis Star, is a fair illustration of par-
tisan's fexibility. Brother SHAW is nothing
if not partisan. Whsn he was running a
newspaper in st. Paul he couldn't say any,
thing too bitter against Minneapolis. Now
that he is running newspaper in Mime.
apolis he is just as caustic in his remarks
about st. Paul. Brother SHAW is young
course of time when the mellowing influences
OF maturer years have lessened his partisan
zeal, he will find out that the best way to
help one city is always to be ready to give
helping hand to the other United we
stand, divided we fall.'

MEN WHO TALK.
Hon. Aldace f.. Walker.

Hon. AIDAoE f. WALKER, United
States Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner-It has never been my fortune to
meet nicer people than l have encoun-
tered since coming West for the first
time, and / hope to see more of them
ere return to Washington. Besides,
it has been great relief to get away
from the hot weather that we have East
at this season of the year and enjoy life
in such delightful climate as we have
found in this vicinity. We have about
completed the investigations which in
duced our present trip and and will re-
turn East by easy stages, probably
leaving st. Paul Monday morning for
Chicago. Commissioner SCHOoNMAKER
has already left the city, but the re-
mainder of our party desired to see
more of st. Paul, and hence we have
stopped over longer than we originally
intended
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-09-18
HELP THE POOR.

The time is at hand when the chang
ing seaso is require every person to
overlook his store of wearing apparel
preparatory to replenishing it for the
coming winter. Numerous garments
are laid aside as not quite good enough
for another seasons wear, but to many
persons those self-Same discarded gar
mentS would be veritable God-send.
In city as large as st. Paul there are
numerous people to HON the problem of
existence is a desperate one. Many of
them find it difficult enough at best to
support their dependent ones even in a
hand to mouth way To them the ques-
ton of winter clothing is serious one
indeed. But it is not saying too much
to declare that the cast-off garments of
more fortunate people would be more
than sufficient to warmly clothe every
poor person in the city. No better dis
position, therefore, of clothing laid aside
at the annual overhauling could be made
than by turning it over to the Relief So
ciety for distribution among the worthy
poor. 1t is charity which costs the
giyerS nothing and which is immediate
and practical in its results.
The officers of the Relief society will
gladly accept any donations of the kind.
and we trust that the generosity of st.
Paul's people, never yet found wanting,
will be such that when winter comes
with its chilling blasts no one will apply
for aid in vain.

Mud Singing Tournament.

Fergus Falls Journal.
The states prison investigation seems
to have turned into mud singing
tournament, and all the participants are
getting well besmeared. The charges
which are made against Stordock now
were freely circulated by his enemies at
entirely false. Mr.. Stordock assured
his friends from this section that they
were false, and their support never wa
vered, and it will require something
more than the mere assertion of the at
torney of the opponent to convince the
public of their truth. Mr.. Stordock
went in this matter knowing that he was
liable to be attacked in the manner in
which he has, and this fact will count a
good deal among those who know him.

THE END.

And SO we cast aside our cherished friend
ship,
p And so cease to call you even friend;
And SO hurry from all sight and hearing
The memory of this friendship and its end.
If you have caused me pain, you are for
given;
If you have grieved me it is over now;
If | have found you tickle and unstable,
You will forget; no grief need cloud your
brow.
All, well. it is not strange we both should
grow weary;
1t is not strange we both should wish to
part;
Bnt now tits over, reveal my secret
'Tis this: loved you, loved you from my
